Answer 2

Answer:

20 Years ago ratio of their ages is 3 : 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Age of Saransh = 50 years

Age of Nazma = 40 years

Ratio of their ages x years ago is 3 : 2

To find: Value of x

According to the question,

$\frac{50-x}{40-x}=\frac{3}{2}$

2( 50 - x ) = 3( 40 - x )

100 - 2x = 120 - 3x

3x - 2x = 120 - 100

x = 20

Therefore, 20 Years ago ratio of their ages is 3 : 2.
